I used to work as an engineer in Malaysia with a salary of RM3,500. By Malaysia standard that would be enough for a decent living. But thing got bad & I was retrenched. I tried my luck in Singapore and was able to secure a job with a salary of S$4,500. To make the most of the currency exchange, I decided to rent in JB and travel daily to work. Waking up as early as 4am, reaching back home as late as 9pm are normal now. Is it worth it? Probably not, but a S$4,500 is RM15,xxx now. I could work for 5 years and buy a house without having to make any loan. I could purchase a brand new Myvi in cash with just 2 year savings.

And when you Malaysian's fell sick or have medical issues while working in Singapore, the SOB story will appear.. Bla Bla Bla or whatever, especially during the 2 years border lockdown

The SG-JB RTS and the JB-Gemas EDTP will be game-changers when they are operational. And by the time these train services are fully operational and functional (3-4 years), AI would have advanced to levels we cannot even imagine now (generative AI and autonomous agents on your mobile phone, and robots controlled by AI). Liew Chin Tong and other officials may want to think about that, and instead simply execute the competent corruption-free planning, governance and maintenance of public infrastructure, safety and services in Greater JB or JB Metropolitan Region (or whatever it will be called then). The business models and people exchanges between Singapore and Johor will sort itself out :)

With modern technology (facial or iris recognition is already being used at broder crossings all over the world)), border crossing between JB and Singapore can be speeded up significantly. I don't understand why the Malaysia- Singapore govts don't get together to build commuter rails lines that run all the way into the city. Immigration clearance should be done at the train station. This is how it is done in at the Sweden-Denmark border- 100,000 Swedes cross the border into Denmark everyday to work. Super smooth - no traffic congestion. Singapore and Malaysia are so backward in this regard.

Interesting. Singapore has a free trade agreement with Malaysia. If I was a Singapore or foreign company, I would set up operations in JB. Lower costs and close to Singapore. Singapore only exists for international trade at a very high cost. JB could become like Shanghai vs Hong Kong. Needs some smart leaders.

Just so you know, Johor didn't or don't know how to develop their own state well and rely too much on down south that's the problem. In fact, there were already Johoreans who prefer to leave Johor to work in SG as early as 90's period even when the currency exchange was about SGD$1 to RM2.2. So, in a way Johor and Johoreans created this problem themselves. This is a Johor problem mainly. KL, Penang are doing well.

The skillset requirement is the same between msia and singapore , and diff is 3.5 timrs salary and travel time. The msia will fail to retent talent, as msia is racism, corruption but a good place for spending when u are rich if u are businessman, trader or salesperson.

Malaysia is doing to catch-up game. But, Malaysians are pragmatic people too. So, unless Malaysia can match Singapore in terms of pay, benefits, learning opportunities and career progression, Malaysia will always experience an outflow of manpower to Singapore. Can the state or federal government create jobs like paying security guards RM7,000 per month? Or nurses earning at least RM10,000 per month? Or doctors earning RM17,000 per month upwards. Soon, the Gini Coefficient of Johor Bahru will be differentiated. Those who come to work in Singapore and those who do not (not withstanding those who run business which is a different category) will be highly contrasted in wealth accumulation and creation. Properties will be swiped up by those who worked in Singapore after a a few years. They will have sufficiently savings to buy properties. Those who continue to stay put at home will grouse about the rising cost of living and felt losing out.

Those who has no objective in life to improve their earning will stay back

Majority who stayed in johor because singapore doesnt want to hire them. Eg. Due to English proficiency etc etc

What’s the need to drain brain? Just match the salaries and everything else (tech-talent whatnot) will follow through naturally as a byproduct. This is a totally no brainer.

Employers/companies in Johor should pay better (Health is more important over long term) or they can go to other Malaysian cities also i.e. KL, Penang

The commute kills! It is becoming hotter and horrible day by day. Cost of living in Singapore is also too much. A meal can cost $10.

It is undeniable that Singaporean & Malaysian of Chinese ethnicity share the same culture, but let not reject PRC immigrant since they contribute to SG also

As a johorean, i will say go lar 😂. If u put KL and Penang beside Singapore, they will have brain drain issue as well 😂.

The problem is not the wages. Singapore and Johor salaries were just on par but the currency exchange made the difference. If only Singapore is far away from Malaysia, these brain drain issues would not happen. This kind of golden opportunity is only applicable for Johorean who can enjoy SGD and Malaysian subsidies (Malaysia is the top 5 countries in this world who spend a lot on subsidies). That's why the growing number of Malaysian workers in Sg are insane.

Just so you know, Johor didn't or don't know how to develop their own state well and rely too much on down south that's the problem. In fact, there were already Johoreans who prefer to leave Johor to work in SG as early as 90's period even when the currency exchange was about SGD$1 to RM2.2. So, in a way Johor and Johoreans created this problem themselves.

@@leealex24 Nope. I bet only 90% of Malaysians don't wanna work in Singapore if they can't commute daily. There is no way for Malaysians to work in Singapore if they have to live there.

I remembered before pandemic try to enjoy my holidays in Malaysia 🇲🇾 guess what Singapore passport normal no queqe even just about 10 minutes But went comes to Johore causeway imagine took you more than 3 hours redeculous and sickening due to standing all the way no toilet if you are alone just to get your passport stamped that not included fighting shouting by east foreigners they felt too.....l can imagine SO WHAT ELSE YOU WANT FROM ME WOW ON YOURS MELAMPAU SANGAT dengan SULTAN ?

If you want XTRA CASH why not, if Malaysians dont come, the Spore will be flooded with banglas, indian mari, China, Viets etc etc and Malaysians are more friendly, good work ethics and more closer to us ie Singaporean in language, food, culture.

Singapore is open to Malaysians working in Singapore, we welcome foreigners to visit & work here.

Amazing. Whatever infrastructure that Singapore has, Malaysia actually also has. Location wise they are also just next to each other. BUT they are so very different and the income gap is monstrously huge. So, obviously it is not a problem of place or location or equipment. Its likely a problem of people and the country of Malaysia. Why is Malaysia so inferior? Maybe its better to bring PAS over into Johor Bahru to govern. That way we can see the differences much better and clearer.

No brain drain, only semi skill - not professional like doctors lawyers super managers or dentists.

Malaysia means **Malaysians Ask Leaders Are You Stealing Income Assets "** , Above true. Who stole billioin,trilions ,waste billions on religion ,wastage etc .

Its not just Johor Bahru but the whole of Malaysia is in stagment. Its the 2023 but the government of Malaysia still thinks its 1990s.. Outdated policies, slow progress in constructions, unwilling to express to newer highs.. Rather have Sarawak and Sabah joint the Brunei then to see it remains stagment and in shabby states with Malaysia. Malaysia needs to up its game.

Please dont attack Malaysia, they are 2nd richest in SEA behind Singapore, still vastly superior to majority of SEA. Being slow dosen't mean they will lose the race at end point. SG progressed very quickly at expense of its social fabric, i see danger as foreigners are the main driver for sg economy.
